How to Look for Night Jobs
If you are looking to pick up an extra job for spending money, or to earn an income during your off time while attending school, a night job may be the perfect opportunity for you. Night owls will find that many businesses -- including restaurants, bars, supermarkets and retail stores -- offer shifts beyond the conventional 9-to-5. Looking for a night job is similar to looking for day work.

Create or update your resume. If you have not held a job before, create a resume that lists your volunteer work or other skills that would pertain to your future job. You do not have to list jobs held more than 10 years ago or that have nothing to do with the type of work that you seek.

Look for work in person. A lot of jobs -- including night jobs -- are not posted, because they can be easily filled. Asking businesses if they are hiring may open up opportunities that you would not find otherwise. Even companies that are not hiring may be interested enough to keep you in mind for future openings.
